Announcing Fedora Core 6 Test 2 (5.91)

08-07-2006, 11:50 AM

In 1888, Theophilus Van Kannel patents his invention, the revolving door.
This invention solves an engineering problem of air transfer by ensuring that
there is no opening to the outside and the inside of a building at the same
time, which could create massive drafts due to air temperature differences.
This invention is still used today.

These days patents are filed for much more frivolous things for a much more
nefarious purposes. Software patents threaten the livelyhood of the
independent software developer and the very nature of the opensource software
movement. You can help us prevent software patents (which are legal in the
United States) from becoming more widespread, particularly in the European
Union. Please visit http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ to learn how you can
do your part in saving our software industry.

Fedora Core 6 Test 2 (5.91) Now Available
==================================
The Fedora Project announces the second release of the Fedora Core 6
development cycle, available for the i386, x86_64, and ppc/ppc64
architectures, including Intel based Macintosh computers. Beware that
Test releases are recommended only for Linux experts/enthusiasts or for
the technology evaluation, as many parts are likely to be broken and the
rate of change is rapid.

Test 3 is scheduled for release September 11, marking the continual
freeze point of the Fedora Core 6 release. Only critical bugs fixed after
this point. It is important that we get your help in testing, reporting and
suggesting fixes for bugs, and directing the technological improvements
we attempt with this release of Fedora Core. Please direct bugs tohttp://bugzilla.redhat.com, product Fedora Core, Version fc6test2. As
always, be sure that your bug is not already fixed by updates and search
for existing bugs before filing.

Thanks to all in the Fedora Project Community who have contributed to
this release. Your continued efforts are what makes Fedora possible.
